MUTINY IN THE JAIL.
Prisoners Beat Turnkey
Albertson.

Monday morning a number of the
prisoners incarcerated in the County
Jail attacked the turnkey, and he
was quite severely beaten before he
could release himself from the villains.
1t seems that yesterday was the
regular cleaning day at the Jail, and as
usual the prisoners were set to work.
Doc" Bateman, the broken down
dude, of Cedarville, stood on his
dignity. and emphatically declared
that he could not stoop to such menial
employment. Turnkey Daniel Albert
son ordered him to go to work, but to
no avail. AS punishment for this
mutiny the turnkey attempted to put
Bateman in his cell. Again did the
dilapidated specimen of dudeism assert
his independence in refusing to enter
the cell. Albertson attempted to force
him in, when the fellow wheeled
around, and with a poker which he
had in his hand, he rained blows upon
the head and shoulders of the turnkey.
This melted half dozen other per-
sons coninedinthej jailto riot, and they
too jumped upon the turnkey, but he
finally freed himself and escaped. Had
the affair taken place at night instead
of the day time, it is quite probable that
an attempt to escape would have been
made. The Sheriff says he hopes to
have the pleasure of escorting the fes-
tive Bateman to the penitentiary.

The poultry fanciers of South Jersey
to the number of about thirty-five,
met at w. N. Hewitt's Office Thursday
night, and formed a temporary organi-
zation. w. N. Hewitt was chosen
chairman of the meeting and William
Hainsworth, Secretary. Bryant Eel
ton, Andrew Mahr and William Hams
worth, were appointed committee
on Constitution and Bylaws.
Considerable interest was manifest
in the meeting, and the organization
it is thought, will be strong and sue
cessful one. All poultry fanciers of
South Jersey are requested to send
their names in or be present at the
meeting at the same place, on Wednes-
day, October 9Th.

New Jersey Cranberry Crop.

The cranberry harvest of New Jer-
sey is now being garnered. The gath
ering of the crop began about ten
days ago, and will be completed in a
few days. The crops of Cape Cod,
Mass, and Wisconsin, the other two
states where cranberry cultivation is
largely engaged in are already gath
cred and stored. The reports show
that the yield of the present season in
the East and West is rather above the
average, while in New Jersey the pre-
diction, we'll authenticated, is made
that the crop will be smaller than it
has been for number of years. Buy
ers, some years ago, taught producers
that when the apple crop was small
the price of cranberries was morally
certain to be higher than it was when
apples were plenty. This year it is
very generally believed that the apple
yield will be small, especially in New
Jersey and the Eastern States. Ergo,
the cranberry producers are now ex-
pecting handsome profits upon their
crops of this fruit.

Political Talk.

People are having lots of fun at the
expense of D. O. Frazeur, candidate
for Sheriff on the Prohibition ticket.
One man has been to see him already,
to rent his present residence for the
three years he will be in the big house
ON the hill.
1t is pretty well settled that Charles
H. Nickel will receive the Democratic
nomination for Sheriff.
The friends of Daniel Sharp claim
that he has the inside track in the
race for the Republican nomination
for County Clerk.
In three weeks all the tickets vii be
completed, and the fun will commence.
The Democrats are waiting anxiously
for the new Democratic weekly, to see
how it stands on certain candidates.
Two bets were made yesterday on
the coming election. One was that
the Prohibition vote would not come
up to thefgures of last Fail, and the
other that the highest man would not
get 1900.
Ex-Sherif Dowdney thinks his
chances for the nomination for Sheriff
are good.
Assessor Samuel p. Fithian, of Green
wich, is looming UP as candidate for
County Clerk, and his chances are said
to be bright.

TO WIDEN THE DAM.
An Important Meeting of City
Council.

President Rogers, with Messrs. Jer-
rel, Johnson, Harding, Hancock,
Seeley, Randolph and Daley, gathered
about the big table in the Council
chamber for special session, last night
week. Few knew of the meeting and
there were only City Solicitor Shep-
pard and one or two others, beside the
members present.
The meeting was called to take action
on the deed presented by the railroad
for the city property. The deed was
read and found to be satisfactory to
our city fathers and on motion it was
approved and ordered signed by the
Mayor and City Recorder, and the
stamp of the corporate seal set upon
it. The check of the company for the
$4,000 was presented to Council and
accepted.
Another important matter presented
itself-the widening of East Lake dam.
City Solicitor Sheppard arose and adj
dressed Council. His firm conviction
was that the law made it obligatory
for the owner of the pond to widen
the dam. If Council was so disposed
they could bear a portion of the ex-
pense, but it was not necessary and
the city could make the owner of the
pond pay for the work if they desired.
Mr.. Hancock offered resolution
| which embodied the following: That
in the opinion of Council, the time
had come when it is believed neces-
sary to widen the roadway over the
dam and that the City Solicitor should
notify Mr.. Elmer to widen the road on
the north side to the street line, and
the city would bear one-half of the
expense.
The resolution was adopted unani-
mously. The work of widening, it is
thought will cost about 1,400, thus
the expense to the city will be but
800.
| An order was drawn in favor Of
School Superintendent Sharp, fol
50, 500, and no other business present
ing itself, Council adjourned.

A well-dressed man was found dead
by some gunners on the marshes below
Burlington Thursday afternoon. A
flask of whiskey half filled was at his
side. Another half pint flask, empty,
was lying near him. Coroner Naylor
made an investigation, and decidef.,
from the evidence he collected that
the man had been dead twenty-fjbur
hours, as he was seen by some school
children on Wednesday. On hinA was
a scrap of paper, on which was written
''Stop-Charles L. Wright, no regular
home" There was eight Gents in
money, but nothing that indicated his
place of residence. CoroIler Naylor
will hold an inquest. The man had a
black moustache, wore a/derby hat, a
small ribbed dark suit, and was about
80 years of age.

At the home of Garret Brinkerhotf
in Hackensack, ON the 21st inst, Mrs.
Brinkerhoff and the children were eat
ing dinner when the little four-year-
old son, Tracey, taking a piece of
bread and butter off the table, went
into the yard to see the school children
at play. He had been absent about
fifteen minutes when his mother went
to look for him, but could not find
hin. Finally her attention was attrac-
ted by seeing the cover of the cistern
off. Going there she saw her little
boys hat and piece of bread floating
on top of the water and an investiga-
ton disclosed that the child's dead
body was in the cistern. Mr.. and Mrs.
Brinkerhoff lost another child sudden
ly two years ago. Sleeping longer
than usual one afternoon, some one
went to wake her, and found her dead.

AT SUNSET LAKE.
The Boats Once More on the
Water.

Sun set Lake is now the only proper
name for that beautiful spot SO long
known as the Tumbling Dam. The
latter name will quite likely designate
the place in the future as heretofore,
but the new order of things allow no
claim for the name. There is no falls
at the new bridge and gates OF Sun
Set Lake. All of that was swept away
bv the terrible force of water. nearly
two months ago. and in its place is a
strong bridge with large gates and
water course from the bottom Of the
pond to the top of the bridge. Six
weeks of hard labor have been given
to the construction of this structure
and in the opinion of competent
judges, the work has been done well.
The timbers and pilings used have been
the best that could be found in the
markets, and the manner in which the
bridge has been put together chal-
lenges admiration.
The Golfer dam which had been
built some fifty feet from the bridge
has been cut and the water allowed to
reach the massive gates which are
strong enough to resist the heavy
weight of this large body of water,
even in a storm. The bridge is not OF
the same order that for years has done
duty at that place. Instead OF the
narrow foot path, there is now fine
driveway over the bridge. The bridge
is not as long as heretofore, each end
having been filled in with gravel. The
driveway all along the pond is to be
filed in and improved, and next Sum
mer the picnic parties will find that
through the kindness of the Cumb.
Nail 81 Iron works they will have ex-
cellent accommodations in this re-
spect.
Since the gates have been closed the
water has risen rapidly, and now the
stumps are out of sight and the boats
can be seen on the water. The race
contains quite little water, and sew
eral boats have been going up there
within the past two days. The early
Fall will find an unusual number OF
boaters on the race, because this popu-
lar sport has been so little indulged in
during the summer. Next summer
however, there will be no danger but
what there will be ample provisions
made to hold the water, and boating
will be as popular and more pleasant
than ever, inasmuch as the stumps will
bother us no more.

New Jersey is small State and a
very old one, but it has taken a long
time to find out just how large she is
and where her boundaries are. 1t is
but few years ago that her northern
line was definitely fixed; a commission
has just agreed upon line between
her and New York through Staten
Island Sound; and the boundary be-
tween Delaware and New Jersey in
the Delaware river is still on open and
very vexed question.

other important matters until last

SENATOR'S sKULL.CAPs.
A Practice That Does Not Promise Il
Grow.

A Practice That Does Not Promise TO
Grow.
Several members of tho Senate have
at various times tried the experiment Of
wearing little black skull-cap while in
their places in the chamber to protect
their hairless heads from the cold cur
rents of air that come from the ever
opening doors. There is something
ridiculous about Senator in little
black cap, and the experiment is not
kept up very long. 1t is said that
II only one Senator wears n cap
he finds the isolation unpleasant,
and abandons it rather than persist
in u practice INDUCED by none Of his
associates. If more than one Senator
wears cap II is said that each Of the
wearers regards the others as 20 odd that
he abandons his own cap rather than be
equally conspicuous. Senator Vance
has recently indulsed in o cap, but after
three or four days service It has been
laid aside. There are more bald heads
than usual In the Senate, and IL the silk
cap became an established institution sn
uncovered head would soon BE the ex-
ception rather than the rule in the Sen
ate,
